Thanks for the kind words, Creature. In addition to ordering directly from the publisher, youse can now get the book from Amazon as well. There's very little overlap in content with the Keith Morris bio so if you're interested in the Circle Jerks, you should definitely read both.

Noted punk rock historian (and good friend) Brian Cogan has told me all about the unique pleasure that is reading Amazon reviews of your work nitpicking every single editorial, thematic and grammatical decision you made. Enjoy!

Ah yes, I can't wait. I imagine it'll remind me of why I don't look at the reader comments to news articles anymore.

My publisher is doing its semiannual Kickstarter campaign. They're a cool company made up of very nice people and they put out lots of interesting, underground books. Every little bit helps, as they say. (And if they meet their goal, pre-orders of The Prodigal Rogerson will go out in February rather than May).

Just a quick update that the Prodigal Rogerson has landed and it looks great!

We'll be shipping those out in the next week—so if your rewards include that book (but do not include Basic Fermentation), keep an eye on your mailboxes. Basic Fermentation is still on track to ship by summer.

Also, we're running a new Kickstarter in a very different vein, for a collection of feminist bicycle science fiction stories. If that's your jam, check it out!

Thank you, Pedro. Could I interest you in a street team position? If so, send me your resume, ASAP. Pro tip: everything goes better with SHAZAM!

I dug the book-a great read! I will try and write a review soon. One nit-picky thing that maybe you would/would not care about. When you talk about the Circle Jerks at the end it is implied that they broke up in 2010. However they did play a handful of shows after that (Riot Fest in 2010, and 2 Denver shows in 2011). Maybe they will return again one day.

Thanks, E-dog. Good catch on the 2011 thing -- illustrates the perils of relying on Wikipedia.

finished the book in one sitting. a very insightful and entertaining book. an insight into an all-too-common band experience: a bit of fame, a lot of drugs, and some bad decisions. i wish i could say this is all unfamiliar to me, but i know far too many people who have been through similar experiences. Now o-Hunter-o has to write a book about Fred "freak" Smith!

So I assume most people got their copy through the Kickstarter/Donation thing. I ordered mine late, and figured that Amazon would be just as fast as ordering direct, since Jeff Bezos and his army of ruthless automatons would happily kneecap some DIY indie press. Big mistake. I finally got notification from Amazon that it's almost on it's way. Looking forward to reading it regardless.

Apparently, Amazon has started shipping so you should get yours in the next couple of days. Hope you dig it.
